Riverside - What turbo are you running on your CA? Sam tuned my car when he was in Brisbane last year, it made 175rwkw on 14psi runnig a VG30 roller bearing turbo, this was befroe he had his real time tuning.

I have just fitted a GT28RS turbo and am looking for a power figure similar to yours.

He's running a GT2871 with the 0.86 rear which is rated at 440hp :)

That was NOTHING!!! Last time I was there we had 2 blown oil seals on turbos, 2 faulty fuel pumps, a water pump snapped on the dyno, a dodgy CA with forgies where the engine builder left the comp too high, leaking injectors, and probably other less significant problems... no to mention it was a consistent 12 degrees warmer last time...

So was my car the only one the first time around (in Brisbane) that didn't have any major problems on the dyno, apart from the turbo not holding boost (Well that is fixed now with the new turbo, holds 15psi from 3400rpm to the limiter).

Although i did have issues after the dyno tune with a broken tailshaft at the drags, maybe to much power :lol: or just a crap tailshaft.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
